Fortify Restoration Loop Help

[Shadow Delta]

So I had no idea this glitch even existed until today. So I've been working up my alchemy and enchanting skills, (they're at like 40, 50). I enchanted gloves, a circlet, a necklace and a ring with 14% alchemy buff. I make a fortify restoration potion. Drink the potion, remove the enchanted equipment, put it back on again, and nothing happens, my alchemy potion skills haven't improved the slightest bit. I've been working on this literally all night, been searching through forums. Nothing really jumps out at me what I might be doing wrong. Some constructive feedback would be much appreciated.

Honestly, I love finding exploits without *Techinically* Cheating. The first one I got introduced to was Fable. (Fable 1) Being able to buy something from a merchant, sell those items back to that same merchant at profit, buy it back for less than you sold, and rinse and repeat. BAM! All of a sudden, you have all the money you need or want to play with. Terraria also has an exploit (Or i think of it as an exploit) that enables you to duplicate water and lava. You funnel them down, and then you can make an obsidian farm on the surface. Easy to acquire to craft the Obsidian skull or whatever it's called. Sell it for 20 silver or more and all of a sudden, you have a gold mine, that never runs out of material.

Anyway, exploits are fun to find; to take something that you struggled with for a while, find a hack and all of a sudden, that difficulty is no longer a problem.

If this is a glitch or exploit, then you get what you get if your game breaks. You don't need to glitch alchemy anymore, because an alchemy potion is now available that you can use to do this normally (rare ingredients, so you have to work for it). Red Canis Root and Gildergreen Sap.

Red Canis root? Found on the Solstheim island? What about the Gildergreen Sap?

The hell are those, modded items?, yeah that doesn't count as "now available".

I have a few mods, but none of them for alchemy... Also they just appeared in my normal load one day, so I have to assume it comes with one of the DLCs. I suppose it is possible that it is part of the College of Winterhold Overhaul, but it wasn't there before. This is something that I just found recently, and didn't add anything new myself, so I figured it was part of an auto-update of the normal game files on Steam.

Red Canis Root shows up in Alchemy shops... I haven't found a source on the map in Solstheim, but it sounds like it would be part of that DLC. Gildergreen Sap you get from the Gildergreen in Whiterun after you heal it with the Eldergleam Sap.

But seriously, no one else is seeing this? I can't imagine which mod it comes from, if it comes from a mod.

Also, Frostbrook Farm is new for me, and other people say it's been around for a while... so I presume the Alchemy changes came with the same update.

Also, I have no problem with people using exploits on the console games, since you are so limited with mods. I'm just saying it isn't necessary anymore to use the exploit, when you can use part of the normal game and probably not crash your game... although it would mean they would have had to put a limiter on how high it could go...

Sure have fun with the game anyway you want but, is that even fun? Not questioning, just curious. Most cheat-like things i use are save-kill vendor-load one to reduce the waiting time to acquire the item i need and moveto player command for my horse because playing with a horse like never works, they always try to fight with everyone. And because how ♥♥♥♥♥♥ the luck riddled pickpocket is, i tend to load a save whenever i get caught while taking an item with %90 odds(that i can defend even if you call it cheap, because ♥♥♥♥ ♥♥♥♥♥♥ game design, luck caps are stupid and no i wont change my mind about that). Not a competition or anything of course, just thought i should share.

Actually this is what prompted me to investigate this after watching the spiffy brit. (Or whatever his name is on YouTube.) I fast travelled somewhere but oh wait! There's another dragon even though I literally just killed one two minutes ago! Spend the next ten minutes fighting it because the annoying bugger won't ever land. Finally dispatch that nusiance, and then I'm encountering some other annoying creature on my way to my fetch quest that had nothing to do with Dragons, or trolls, or giants or anything else that's a pain to fight.

Being able to one hit/kill anything, is so FREAKING awesome! I'm sure, eventually it won't be so fun after a while, but seriously, a dragon appears, take a shot with my insanely overpowered bow, and *POOF* nusiance is gone. Now I can carry on with the game that I was actually trying to get to.

Amid my rant is that, sometimes, It's nice to have hacks like this that take the grinding out of a game, so I can go back to what I really wanted to begin with; which was to go explore and work my way through a storyline.

Not seeing the complaint exactly on the one-hit kills cuz you can achieve that without any form of exploit just by speccing yourself up well and making sure you have a good weapon. I'm currently in a mage build and one-shot most enemies with an overcast of Thunderbolt.

Likewise, I would one-shot most enemies if I'd have a stealth build and a dagger.

I use the whistle mod for horses, makes it quite easy to have one + I have a mod that tells all non-fighting npc's like horses and townsfolk to not engage in battles.

It is fun to me.
I love pushing the game's limits, tinker with game's inner workings or experimenting with all sorts of crazy commands / exploits.

I sometimes even find out thing is never knew before. Like did you know that Dragon riding from Dragonborn dlc actually supposed to work like Fallout 4's vertibird fast travel? As in Dragon can carry you to your marked destination in real time. That is disabled by default by just one gamesetting command, for some reason. (You can force enable back that feature with bFlyingMountFastTravelCruiseEnabled=1 in your Skyrim.ini no mods required)

I like breaking this game and discovering interesting exploits and hidden features.
It's as fun to me as legit runs.
